Summary

Nikki Giovanni is one of the greatest living poets in the world and she is a joy to be around. She’s funny, smart, humble, and very cool. She’s the best dinner guest imaginable. In honor of Black History Month, and since she’s recently announced her retirement from teaching let’s throwback to this hour plus conversation from 2017 about what makes a great poem, the impact of watching domestic violence in her childhood home, how she rebounded from a health scare by getting onstage, how she learned to cry and why she feels she needs to go into outer space.
